Andrew Kay (5d South London) retained his title by winning this year's Durham Tournament. Reduced to one day,
because of hosting the British earlier in the year, the event attracted 19 players from
as far away as Edinburgh and southern England. Second on tie-break from Matthew Crosby (3d Edinburgh) was Boris Mitrovic (1k Edinburgh) who went away with the prize of a month's subscription to Dinerchtein's Insei League. Unattached player John Green (4k) won all three
games and Martha McGill (1k Edinburgh) was rewarded for not losing any games (she had one win and two jigos). The event finished an hour early and gave plenty of time to allow players to stand in
the rain and watch the Olympic torch arrive in the city, before going on to an Italian restaurant.
The weekend was completed by a barbecue on the Sunday.
